Chapter 50 Red Oil Copying Hands (7)
With things on his mind, Master Sun, whose already poor cooking skills were about to bottom out, became even worse. He absent-mindedly made a barely-eating lunch, which attracted many officials and police officers to roll their eyes and express anger. , and after a scolding from Ji Caimai, Master Sun and Master Wang left Dali Temple together.
The time we made an appointment with that person was not yet time.
I arrived early and waited under the crooked-neck willow tree in front of the mansion. I waited in the sun for most of an hour before a white-haired eunuch with white skin and powdered skin came out holding an umbrella.
Looking at the white-haired eunuch with a pale face and bright red lips, the two of them shrank in unison: they always felt that the white-haired eunuch walking in front of them was exactly the same as the monster in the book that ate people and had no time to wipe their mouths.
When he reached the two of them, the white-haired eunuch glanced at them sideways and said, "Then Wen Xuance's daughter left the palace?"
The two people were startled when they heard the high-pitched voice, and hurriedly said "yes" and "yes".
The white-haired eunuch sneered after hearing this and glanced at the two of them: "Being a cook in your public kitchen?"
The two nodded hurriedly again.
The eunuch snorted: "What a big deal! You two won't get her away? Can't you two handle the movie of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl?"
Master Sun and Master Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Although that girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, I have been waiting for a long time. But as the old saying goes, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes, and mice's sons can dig holes. Then Wen Xuance is a treacherous sycophant. Of course, his daughter is also a treacherous person, coaxing us to help our public chef with her purchase, covertly or covertly. She has only been here for a few days, and we have already been scolded several times!"
When the white-haired eunuch heard this, he rolled his eyes, looked at the two of them with disgust, and spat: "Bad luck! Why is it so useless?"
The two laughed dryly and admitted their mistakes again and again.
After being pointed at the nose and scolded by the eunuch, the white-haired eunuch said: "What a big deal! Why alarm the master? I'll just say hello to the internal affairs department!"
Upon hearing this, Master Sun and Master Wang were overjoyed and thanked them profusely!
The eunuch snorted coldly, raised his shrill voice, and shouted: "Get out of here! You are an eyesore!"
Seeing the fierce guards in the mansion coming out with sticks, the two of them were so frightened that they rolled and crawled away.
He ran until he could no longer see the eunuch and then stopped.
The two of them were holding on to the corner of the wall, panting, but the expressions on their faces were shockingly ugly.
"Bah! This eunuch!" Master Sun couldn't help but spat and cursed, "You're just relying on human power!"
Master Wang's expression was equally ugly, and he continued: "If we didn't have to deal with that girl surnamed Wen, how could we suffer the consequences of being an eunuch?"
"That's all, just bear with it for now!" Master Sun cursed a few words and said angrily, "As soon as the internal affairs department comes forward, I think that girl has something else to say."
"In the final analysis, it's the girl named Wen who is to blame. If she hadn't come, why would we and I have to endure such idleness?" Master Wang said bitterly, then looked at the sky and said, "It's not early. Now, I have to go back and make evening food."
Although few people in the entire Dali Temple are looking forward to Master Wang's evening meal, people have to eat. This evening meal must be done and eaten.
When it was time for dinner to be served, Liu Yuan, who had been running around for a day, finally returned to Dali Temple and put the clues he asked in front of Lin Fei.
"Lin Shaoqing, what you said is right! Then Li Ruizhi did buy these medicinal materials," Liu Yuan said, "but he didn't buy them in one place, but in different pharmacies. They bought them separately, but they happened to be on the same day."
The medicinal materials were obviously available in a drug store, but he chose to buy them separately. After checking this, the fool also knew that there must be something wrong with this Li Ruizhi.
Liu Yuan took a sip of the sour plum drink handed to him by Shangfeng and sighed a little: in fact, he was even less happy with the Duke of Huai'an than Li Ruizhi, but he would rather have it be the Duke of Huai'an who did such a thing. , not the seemingly polite Li Ruizhi.
"What's the use of this medicinal material?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask after drinking a bowl of sour plum drink to drive away the dryness in his body.
Lin Fei raised his head and asked him: "Do you still remember when you and I first entered the public housing in Huai'an County?"
Liu Yuan was startled when he heard this, and the scene at that time flashed through his mind: Duke Huai'an, who was having fun, waved his maids to go down, and a large group of maids came out, almost bumping into him and the two of them.
After hearing Liu Yuan's answer, Lin Fei did not comment. He just raised his hand, pointed to his nose, and said, "What do you smell?"
The smell...?
"It smells like powder!" Liu Yuan recalled the situation at that time and said, "The maid put on makeup, and the smell of powder became stronger."
Lin Fei glanced at Liu Yuan who was still reminiscing, rubbed his brows, and said, "The fragrance of the powder is mixed with the smell of medicine."
Liu Yuan: "...I didn't smell it."
How many people have noses as good as their own?
Lin Fei pointed to the list that Liu Yuan had brought back and said, "It's the smell of the medicinal materials above that collided with the medicinal properties in the medicinal bath package of Duke Huai'an and turned into poison."
Liu Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Then Duke Huai'an..."
Lin Fei closed the medical book open in front of him and said: "Excessive lethargy, sluggish steps, and white eyes are dim. I think I will be fine in a few days."
In such a calm tone, he said that Duke Huai'an "will have a good life in a few days."
Liu Yuan: "..."
So, reading medical books is really useful? When he looked at Duke Huai'an's appearance, he just thought he was overindulging in sexual pleasure. How could he tell whether he was "having only a few days left to live"?
"Is it Li Rui's poison to kill Duke Huai'an?" Liu Yuan came to his senses and looked a little complicated when he thought of this conclusion.
Lin Fei said "Yeah" and said, "That's it."
"But why..." Liu Yuan murmured, but then shook his head, "No, he had a motive to poison Duke Huai'an."
Once Duke Huai'an dies, Li Ruizhi can take his place and inherit the title of Duke Huai'an.
"But that's not right. Duke Huai'an is not planning to do it again in two years..."
"It has not been reported to the court, so the position of Duke Huai'an naturally does not belong to Li Ruizhi," Lin Fei explained. "But although Li Ruizhi still calls Huai'an Duke's uncle, it has been listed in the family tree, and the adoption has been completed. Huai'an Once the Duke dies, he can also get this property."
So, was Li Ruizhi seeking wealth and killing someone? Motivated by wealth? Liu Yuan frowned, thinking of Li Ruizhi sitting in the study, touched his nose, and sighed, "I really can't tell that he is such a person."
Lin Fei glanced at him and said, "There is no doubt that Li Rui did what happened to the Duke of Huai'an. However, I think the whole thing is more than that."
Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei in disbelief: "Does Lin Shaoqing think that the deaths of Yan San and others are also related to Li Ruizhi?"
Li Ruizhi's poisoning and killing of Duke Huai'an can be said to be murder, but why did he kill Yan San and others? There is no reason!
